DPF problems.

Thanks Jack.

And Thanks John M, but contrary to popular belief I do very little day time city work and mostly work by night with almost zero traffic and as I work the southern burbs with motorways and dual carrigeway I'm more often out the motorway than in town.
But with all that said I did about 5 hours work today which was mostly in town and with the air-con on, hopefully it will sort itself out during the week.
I'll get that NCT emmisions result fer ya in a mo, it's out in the car.

If you are using a lot of oil it could be blowing by the pistons and clogging the filter .Topping it up with the same oil might not work .They do oil for high milers a bit more expensive but a tenner or a score extra might help solve the issue .Every now and then I treat the car to the better Fuel for a week or two .I think it burns better helps with emissions .I havent had any trouble with the Fluence unlike the Occi but I now treat the fuelsystem .Liqui Moli diesel Flush plus good fuel every now and then .If your Emissions at NCT were under 1.then it could be minor glitch that will clear itself .

I don't do high mileage fer a Taxi, I'm mostly at about 750km a week.

It's not burning a lot of oil, actually never did, that spoofer DPF cleaner mechanic that once stated that it needed 6 litres of oil didn't turn out to be the best at telling the truth. As I found out after being 2.5k lighter in pocket ......

Fer emmissions I hope you mean Smoke on the NCT ?

[John m]

That Smoke number is low for a car with DPF problems just a few weeks after the test .Did your Spanner Jockey ever say what caused your Turbo to give problems ?you said your oil was 3/4 full thats a lot of lost oil it has to go somewhere  it might be effecting your turbo and clogging the DPF .

I told him months ago ...his engine is prematurely worn and  will continually give  problems....the engine is prematurely
Worn because of poor maintenance ....ie
prolonged  oil change  schedules, or wrong oil ( cheap shit from lidls or  running with  low oil level ....
His best option is to replace it with a brand new engine and turbo or scrap the car ...

Hopefuly its only a glitch but Turbos dont usually go and all the oil use does sound like a bit of engine wear oil blowing past the pistons .Get it on the laptop get somebody different to do the diagnosis .Your normal Spanner Jockie is a bit like your Doctor makes his money from return visits not cures .

Will remapping the dpf in the computer cause an nct fail? As in shutting it down or something whatever they do. Asking for a friend

I think JohnM is suggesting getting any fault codes off the car's computer via a laptop & not remapping anything.


AFAIK, the NCT now check your car's computer for fault codes and if you've done any messing with it, it's just an advisory warning for now.  If a year or two, it'll be a fail.

I've never worked on cars  johnny I'm only talkin from me own experience rebuilding diesel engines  but as I said to Ken before .....I've never seen a turbo go where the underlying problem wasn't low oil pressure  ....in all cases after being stripped down ....the big ends wer damaged ...
The only other problem that  i was informed could cause one to go is back pressure from a blockage in the exhaust causing overheating ..but usually you get fair warning in that case ...a blocked air filter or restricted air  inlet will just cause poor performance and black smoke but modern cars are wide to that wit computers an sensors
It could have been a temporary oil problem which has since been rectified but  permanent damage may have been done ....but turbos don't go on a Toyota unless there was  one of the oil  issues I stated above ....a simple oil pressure test at the turbo and then at the engine mite reveal more ...
Because the turbo is at the end of the oil line and the turbo bearing/s are operating at extreme temperatures and velocity  ....it doesn't take much for them to fail ...the oil is also  coooling the turbo bearing/s... failure of a turbo is caused by low oil , old oil or wrong oil or just an engine that has too many miles ......
There is no point in adding bottles of shit to the diesel .. . The fact that ken is still having problems
Suggests he didn't get away with the initial
Oil deficiency/problem and possibly low oil pressure is a permanent condition in which case his turbo will go again ....
If the oil issue was bad enough  it could have worn big ends which leads to permanent low oil pressure....which as you rightly pointed out also causes blue smoke coming from the combustion Chambers because of oil ring/ piston cylinder wear  damage an dpf clogging up continuously......
Havin said all that I'm way out of touch and not up to date ......I've a phobia to spanners an dirt now for a number of yers

OCCI lads forget they are boiling the oil for eight or nine hour shifts 7 days a week .It will degrade faster doing that sort of driving than covering the same mileage between recommended oil changes .I change it every 12000 Km .
